Abstract

Neonatal small bowel obstruction by thick and tenacious meconium is known as meconium ileus (MI). A variable length of distal ileum is narrowed and filled with pellets of grey/green intestinal content of putty-like consistency. Proximal to this segment, the small bowel is dilated and filled with very adherent tenacious dark green meconium.
